You got the answers already but if it is any comfort... my TR3A smokes thru
the oil filler cap when first parked.
Whether it is a 'significant amount' is hard to say: it is noticeable but
doesn't cause bystanders to run or grab a fire extinguisher. I did the
valve guides about 5 years ago and the rings when Jimmie Carter was
President so I expect the latter is to blame.

I don't think you want to be wary of adjusting the carbs. Not to question
Jeff's abilities, but I don't see how anyone could get the carbs correctly
set-up without having them on the engine. Do the basic stuff first (valve
clearances, points gap, timing, carb sync, etc) then try your hand at
mixture adjustment. Several methods out there, all work best with a final
adjustment based on drivinig results.
